UNDERTHE-HOOD MAIN­TE­NANCE RECORD

My truck’s air fil­ter cover makes a per­fect black­board for my main­te­nance sched­ule. I use a chalk marker to write down the dates I last changed the oil, air fil­ter, spark plugs, etc. The chalk marker isn’t af­fected by wa­ter but is eas­ily cleaned off with an am­mo­ni­abased cleaner (such as Win­dex).

For me, this is much sim­pler than record­ing every­thing in the owner’s man­ual. It’s right where I need it!
